I have a 610 06 with 10000 km and I did the service but I hear a strange cling cling sound on the left side of engine.i have read about cam chain/tensioner problems and cam chain has to be replace every bit.is there a solution about that problem or I must replace cam chain every bit?
I'd check the tensioner to see how many clicks out it is. Mine was nearly at 7 clicks at 8500kms and I did the chain anyway. I know now I won't need to touch it until at least 20000kms. Manual states to change at 10000kms or when the tensioner is 7 (or more clicks) out. If it gets too loose, then there's things in the engine that will get chewed up by the chain. Such as the reed valve shown in the pic below.
I must go to my service dealer again cause I don't know how to check up my cam.you know the cost of cam?and something else,can't I adjust cam and no replace it?if i change my tensioner this problem will go away for ever or no?
I've no idea what it cost to get someone else to do it as I did it myself. Cam chain (part only) from memory is about $50-60 - easily sourced from Hall's Cycles. I used the writeup someone did on SMJ to help since it had clearer pictures than the workshop manual. There should be no need to replace the tensioner and/or chain guides. Doing a quick search resulted in the following links you might find useful: http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/cam-chain-adjustment.13413/#post-124108 http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/cam-chain-tentioner-10-clicks-out-2300-miles.3208/
Nerb1 from Youtube said the exact opposite, in fact he blames his engine blowing on not changing the tensioner when he changed the cam chain.
I asked are local husky tech about the clicks on the tensioner on my left kick 610. He is an old guy who has always worked on huskys and known that left kick 610 engine since day one. He said the teeth showing or clicks out on the tensioner is no indication on its wear what so ever. You must measure it as shown in the book and if in doubt just change it
